#52FilmsByWomen: I DON’T CARE

11/52 I DON’T CARE.

This week’s film is a short directed by Carolina Giammetta, who is based in the UK. It’s about a pregnant woman who discovers her baby will be born with Down’s Syndrome and how she comes to terms with the news. The film has a beautifully subtle and light touch, with both the subject matter and the excellent performances. I was moved and uplifted when I watched it. Giammetta has been working steadily in theatre and film and will soon be directing television as well. I feel it’s only a matter a time before her unique voice becomes familiar to a much larger audience, so get to know her now! You can watch her film at the great Short of the Week website where it’s been featured:https://www.shortoftheweek.com/2016/03/21/i-dont-care/
